To add the new IM-PSX GSM MAP to your deployment, in the Change Center pane, click Commit.

A new module of type IM-PSX GSM MAP is now added to your Service Broker deployment. The new module is displayed in the domain navigation pane under the Interworking Modules node.

Specifies the alias of the IM's SS7 address. The alias is an index to the SS7 SSU configuration, where the IM's SS7 address is configured. The IM uses this alias to set the origination field of outgoing SS7 messages. This ensures that further session messages arrive to this IM instance.

Plugin

STRING

Specifies the protocol variant used over the SS7 interface. It informs the IM which plug-in (class) to use to encode and decode SS7 messages.

General

The General subtab enables you to set up a pending NOTIFY message and define a PSX SIP domain.

Table 28-4 describes the configuration parameters on the General subtab.

Name

Type

Description

Generate Pending NOTIFY

BOOL

Specifies whether or not Service Broker needs to generate a SIP NOTIFY message with the Subscription-State set to pending together with an empty body when a new subscription is created and the terminal state is still unknown.

Possible values:

TRUE

FALSE

Default value: TRUE

PSX SIP Domain

STRING

Specifies a SIP domain name for IM-PSX.

The application can use this value in the domain part of the RequestURI header and the To header to refer a request to a specific SS7 entity whose alias is configured in DefaultSS7EntityAlias.

Default value: ocsb-psx.net

Accept Header

The Accept subtab enables you to select formats of the body message that IM-PSX supports.

The Accept subtab contains a table in which each row represents one of the formats that SIP applications are allowed to set in the Accept header of SIP SUBSCRIBE messages. When setting up a format, you need to specify the values described in Table 28-5.

Table 28-6 Map Handling Parameters

Name

Type

Description

Default SS7 Entity Alias

STRING

Specifies an SS7 entity to which the IM-PSX sends a MAP request. The parameter defines an alias for one of the SCCP addresses configured in the SS7 SSU. The parameter is used only when the address is not provided in the To header of the SIP SUBSCRIBE message.

Default value: hlr

gsmSCF Address

STRING

Specifies a value to be set in the gsmSCF-Address parameter of the MAP request. The parameter defines the address that identifies an IM-PSX in a mobile network.

Default value: Unknown

gsmSCF Nature of Address

STRING

Specifies the NatureOfAddress of the gsmSCF-Address parameter in the MAP request

MSISDN NatureOfAddress

STRING

Specifies the NatureOfAddress of the MSISDN parameter that IM-PSX sets in the MAP operation. Service Broker uses the NatureOfAddress specified in this parameter only if the NatureOfAddress is not specified in the RequestURI header of the SIP SUBSCRIBE message.

Possible values:

UNKNOWN

NATIONAL

INTERNATIONAL

SUBSCRIBER_NUMBER

NETWORK_SPECIFIC

Default value: UNKNOWN

IM-PSX also uses this parameter to set the gsmScfAddressNoa

Default Numbering Plan

STRING

Specifies a default numbering plan used to set the MSISDN and gsmSCF-Address in the MAP request.

Possible values:

ISDN

DATA

TELEX

Default value: ISDN

Configuring TCAP Parameters

The TCAP subtab enables you to set up the parameters of the TCAP layer.

Specifies the time period in seconds that the IM waits for a possible REJECT. The timer starts when sending INVOKE for class 4 operations.

Default value: 5 seconds.

Reject Timeout in Seconds

INT

Specifies the time period in seconds that the IM waits for a possible REJECT. The timer starts when sending INVOKE for class 1-3 operations.

Application Part Guard Timer

INT

Specifies the PSM timer, which is a timer for incoming operations.

The PSM timer defines the maximum time that the application (TC-User) has to respond to incoming INVOKE messages.

Activate Invoke Alarm in Application Layer

BOOL

When the TCAP layer receives an INVOKE, it triggers back P-ABORT if there is no response. The waiting time period for response is configured in the encoding library.

The Activate Invoke Alarm in Application Layer parameter specifies whether or not to activate this timer.

Possible values:

True

False

Default value: False.

Result Split Length

INT

Specifies the maximum length of the TCAP RESULT message. When the actual length of the message exceeds the specified value, the message is split.

Configuring Monitoring Parameters

The Monitoring tab enables you to define how Runtime MBeans and notifications operate for an IM-PSX. For more information about configuring monitoring, see "Configuring Service Broker Monitoring" in "Monitoring Service Broker Using Runtime MBeans" in Oracle Communications Service Broker System Administrator's Guide.
